A Day In The Library With Mrs. GauthierBy Angela Kailey Gauthier

A day in the library with Mrs. Gauthier,She wants us to be there,

She tells us so, dear.No food or no drinks near the books,

Keep that clear,We’re in the library now,

Have some fear!Library voices, she says to us all

As we come inFrom the midst of the hall.The books cannot hear us

We think to ourselves,But still we are quiet,In spite of the shelves.She welcomes us in,Reads a story or two.

She points us to books,Some old and some new.She talks and she talks

How reading’s so great...How readings the key to determine our fate!

We aren’t sure what she does,But she does it quite well.

And somehow we feel that this place is quite swell!We know she is glad when we come,

That’s quite true…But the look in her eye when we go,

That’s good too!Again and again,

We come and we goTo the library

Where Mrs. Gauthier gives a show.We meet people, go places,

Have fun and feel sad.All without leaving, and this is no fad!

She says its been going on for ages gone byWe don’t believe her,

But don’t think she’d lie!It’s all quite amazing,Here in our school…

We have Mrs. Gauthier,WHERE READINGS THE RULE!
